Expert Review and Insights
The Blizzard LOWBAR2 is a real workhorse. It’s clear it has been designed with the realities of a busy British pub in mind. It's not flashy, but its solid build, reliable cooling, and space-efficient design are exactly what landlords and bar managers are looking for. It does the simple things exceptionally well.

- Perfect Fit: Its 840mm height is a lifesaver for bars with low or custom counters.
- Hinged Doors Only: In very tight walkways, sliding doors might have been a better option.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Queen's Head pub in Keswick, Cumbria, needed to replace an old, inefficient cooler under their original oak bar. They chose the Blizzard LOWBAR2 because its dimensions allowed it to slide in without any costly modifications to their historic fittings.
"It slotted in perfectly. The LED lights make the bottles stand out, and it's so much quieter than our old one. The staff love how quickly it chills new stock, even on a busy Saturday night. A brilliant, no-nonsense piece of kit."
Michael Davies – Landlord
The pub saw a noticeable improvement in service efficiency, reducing the time spent restocking during peak periods and ensuring every drink was served cold.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before plugging in, let the cooler stand upright for at least 4 hours to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Make sure you leave a little breathing room (around 5-10cm) at the back and sides for proper ventilation.
- Use a spirit level to adjust the feet so the unit is perfectly stable and the doors close evenly.
- Plug directly into a standard 13 amp wall socket; avoid using extension leads.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the interior surfaces and shelves weekly with a food-safe cleaner.
- Gently clean the black rubber door seals (gaskets) to remove any grime and ensure they create a tight seal.
- Every couple of months, carefully brush or vacuum any dust from the condenser coils at the back to maintain efficiency.
- Avoid blocking the internal fans by overloading shelves, as this helps air circulate freely.

Ever noticed how often fridge doors are left slightly ajar during a frantic service? Each time that happens, cold air floods out and warm air rushes in, forcing the fridge's motor to work overtime to get back to temperature. It’s a massive waste of energy. Self-closing doors are the simple but genius solution. Think of them like a well-trained bar back; they always make sure the door is shut properly behind them without you having to ask. A gentle spring mechanism in the hinge gives the door a final push, ensuring it seals tightly every single time. This small feature makes a huge difference to your electricity bill and keeps your drinks consistently cold, which is exactly what you want.
